Regarding "concept maps", I know them best as tools for assess-
ment -- i.e. the learner creates / draws these along the way,
or in an interview situation.
However, I would like to contribute one very old chart that I have
continued to use (this addresses one small corner of your concept
map), but w/ logical (implication) arrows connecting theorems and
definitions.
